Ich meine das OpenVPN-Interface in der Firewall, es funktioniert ja in der Praxis mit manuell gepflegten Hosts (öffentliche IPs), nur halt nicht benutzerbasiert über die OpenVPN-Benutzer.

Ja, erstmal blockiere ich z. B. für OpenVPN per GeoIP alle Länder außer Deutschland. Jetzt will ich alle OpenVPN-Benutzer in der Gruppe "external" zusätzlich über ihre öffentliche IP freigeben. Das funktioniert aber nicht, deshalb müssen mir die Benutzer im Ausland ihre IP mitteilen und ich trage sie manuell ein.

Das könnte ja automatisch und benutzerbasiert passieren, da OPNsense ja die externe IP des OpenVPN-Benutzers bekannt ist, wie man im Dashboard sieht.

When I look at the tutorial again I see why I did the mistake with the bind address.

https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/sslvpn_instance_roadwarrior.html

The bind address is 10.10.8.1 (WAN), which is very similar to the VPN pool network address 10.1.8.0, so I misread that as 10.1.8.1.

By the way there is a mistake in the schema, the road warrior IP shows 10.2.8.2 when it should read 10.0.8.2.

I think I also understand now why there is not a migration assistant because the encryption algorithm (--cipher) is deprecated since server version 2.4.0. It's probably hidden to discourage its use.

If you want to do a 1:1 migration to save distributing the configs to the clients again you have to activate the "advanced mode" in the new instance and change "Auth" and "Data Ciphers" to match the legacy configuration.

Also according to the OpenVPN reference manual the default auth digest algorithm is SHA1 which differs from the old legacy tutorial where it is SHA512, isn't that contradicting the own recommendations from the previous tutorial? Or is "OpenVPN default" in OPNsense an own definition?

Yeah, I got that now. But isn't it a step backwards. Before you could provide multiple system aliases like LAN1, WAN2 etc.

Now you can only provide a single IP which is not dynamically updated like the previous system aliases.

Edit: Sorry, I just checked again and the old "Interface" field was just a single-select field, not a multi-select field.

So every night I shut down my PC, then I shut down OPNsense via a single press on the power button, then I turn of my switched power strips of the PC and my hi-fi system and at last I turn off the PSU switches off my cable router and the OPNsense box.

But once in a blue moon OPNsense doesn't shut down but reboots.

Here are the general logs of two shutdowns, the second one (Jan. 14th) had that behavior, the other one (Jan. 13th) didn't have it.

But the strange thing is there is nothing in the general log between 22:52:39 and 17:16:45 when I heard the boot sound of OPNsense.

A normal shutdown is no more possible then. I then have to do a hard shutdown of the OPNsense box (holding down the power button for some seconds).

So how can I find the issue here? And by the way why is the boot log only starting from the last boot?

Thanks, after updating my OPNsense I noticed this bug too. My clock was running 22 seconds in advance. Was fixed after updating the time.

Anybody else noticed weird behaviour of Windows 11 23H2 after the KB5048685 update?

After the login screen I get a black screen for some seconds and the loading of the taskbar is very delayed.

Also high CPU from "Service host DCOM server process launcher" and wsappx. I locked my Windows 11 to 23H2 because of all the AI crap in 24H2 like Copilot and Recall but maybe I have to switch to FreeBSD sooner than I planned. :)

The installed transceiver supports 1 Gbps, while the motherboard supports 10 Gbps. Could this be a problem?

Yes, that could be the problem, see here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PFSENSE/comments/t317nv/no_link_on_sfps_with_supermicro_server_ubiquiti/

Ah, thank you, that makes sense, maybe I should RTFM, I thought 'm' was for mega, i.e. millions.  ;D

That would have been in the realm of a 100 GBit/s NIC.

The plugin also has to be updated for the new dashboard, it can't be selected in the widgets list.

Wie alt sind denn deine gebrauchten Fujitsu FUTROs? Die Datenblätter die ich finde sind von 2017. War der Arbeitsspeicher den du probiert hattest neu oder auch gebraucht? Neueste Firmware drauf (V4.6.5.4 - R1.16.0 (13.08.2018))?

Did you try the tunable

as mentioned in this thread?

You can also add it via GUI.

You would have to download the package and transfer it to your OPNsense via a USB stick or similar because you also won't have internet to download the package locally.

What happens if you enable Secure Boot and reboot?

Is "Intel Virtualization Technology" (VT-x) activated in the X99 BIOS?

Geht wohl nur mit den dedizierten Servern.
